The Medical Professionals are Overcritical of U.S.’s Reducing the Number of Mandatory Vaccines for Children

This is how Trump and his, UN-scientific GOONS, commit GENOCIDE, to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!  What happens when you put a TYRANT who does NOT trust in SCIENCE (hello, you DO realize how EVERYTHING IS based off of, scientific research, that’s what made things, valid, right???) will kill off, ALL the babies who are only allowed to take FIVE (maybe ten at most???) breaths in their, lives…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The Department of Health in the U.S. will be Overhauling the Vaccine Schedules for Young Children, Eleven Vaccines are No Longer Mandatory Effective Immediately, the Experts Criticizing, that the Decision to Do So Lacked the Founding Basis in Science & Statistics

The Department of Health announced on the fifth, that the recommended vaccines for infants and children reduced to eleven from seventeen, effective immediately.  The authorities claimed that this change will make U.S. identical in vaccine schedules compared to other developed countries, immediately, the pediatricians, the medical experts began criticizing this new policy harshly.

and here’s the “counter” from the “other side”, of the medically TRAINED professionals, off of YouTube

After the amendments, the CDC only recommends that all children need only eleven vaccines including measles, mumps, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Hib, streptococcus pneumoniae, HPV and chickenpox, etc., etc., etc.

The unrecommended include flu, rotavirus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, certain types of meningitis, RSV, etc., etc., etc., all of which are only administered to the high-risk specific group in the population, or when doctors recommended.

The U.S. president Trump last month believes that the vaccines of young children should get reduced, he’d stated that there are only ten vaccines recommended in Denmark, that the vaccines mandated for children in Japan and Germany also covered less varieties compared to the U.S.’s, then he’d, proposed the reduced vaccines for children plan.

The department of health explained, compared with twenty plus advanced countries, the vaccine recommendations for children by types and dosages are both more, so now, they’re making the recommendations for children to only receive what is absolutely necessary, to increase public trust.  RFK Jr. stated on the fifth, that this decision is to protect the children, respect the families, rebuilding the public’s trust in the public health systems.

from just, NINE hours ago, from YouTube

RFK Jr. in the past questioned the safety of certain vaccines before there are any direct evidences suggesting to the vaccines being unsafe, and reinforced that the public health facilities should not force vaccinate.

The medical experts criticized, that the implementation of the vaccine requirements will only add to the parents’ confusions, changes being made under no public discussion, no transparent review of the data collected, will put children at greater risks of contraction, not preventing the illnesses.

Last month, C.D.C. had dismissed the recommendations that’s been followed for the past decades, the vaccinations of hepatitis B for newborn infants within twenty-four hours after birth.  The states have the right to demand the children be vaccinated before admissions into schools, the authority is not up to the federal government.  Despite the rules of the CDC had often interfered with the states’ individual policies, some of the states are already setting up the leagues, to counter Trump’s orders on the vaccinations of young children.

Because Trump does NOT believe in what’s been scientifically sound, that’s why he is having the federal government hand down the orders of eliminating the vaccine requirements for children, and this would impact the country…by killing off them babies without enough immunodefense mechanisms.  These vaccines are mandated for young children for the reason that they are too young, their immune systems hadn’t run as long as the adults, which means, they will have less defenses against these illnesses, and, these vaccines are effectively PROVEN by SCIENTIFIC research to help children stay healthy, and yet, the U.S. is now led by the PSYCHOPATH who believes in VOODOO magic, and not what’s SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN, so, by not mandating these necessary vaccines of the younger childhood years, Trump is committing GENOCIDE, because by ordering this, he’s leaving all your babies, without any defenses against the viruses, the bacteria and god-knows-what-else that are parasitic, that your babies might get their hands on, and, EVERY child DIES, in the DIVIDED STATES of TRUMP!  (no longer the “United States of America”…)

Experts Fighting H.I.V. in Children are Let Go, by: Appoorva Mandavilli

See how the Trump REGIME has absolutely, ZERO sense of the most fundament of human rights, to life? The right of children to LIVE, sliced and diced, by Emperor Trump here…
The Trump administration has dismissed the few remaining health officials who oversaw care for some of the world’s most vulnerable people: more than 500,000 children and more than 600,000 pregnant women with HIV in low-income countries.
Expert teams that managed programs meant to prevent newborns from acquiring H.I.V. from their mothers and to provide treatment for infected children were eliminated last week in the chaotic reorganization of the Health and Human Services Department.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rmk3CAx0OE

the news report on Trump’s cutting the research fundings…and yes, the link works.
While it was known that some staff members devoted to H.I.V. prevention in other countries had been lost, The New York Times has learned that all such experts have now been terminated or are awaiting reassignment at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
These maternal health programs are still funded by the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief or PEPFAR. But without personnel to manage the initiatives or to disburse the money, it’s not clear how the work will continue.
The Health and Human Services Department did not respond to a request for comment.
On Tuesday, a study in The Lancet estimated that suspending PEPFAR could lead to about one million new HIV infections by 2030 and could lead to nearly 500,000 A.I.D.S. deaths among children and the orphaning of more than 2.8 million more.
After the nascent Trump administration froze all foreign aid, Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a waiver permitting delivery of “core lifesaving medicine, medical services” and other activities funded by the United States.

the “caption” reads: “Trump’s proposed budget includes research funding cuts to National Institutes of Health”


A waiver specific to the PEPFAR later explicitly continued support for programs meant to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and to provide treatment of infected women and children.
The paperwork allowing the aid to resume took weeks after the waiver was issued, and several organizations are only just beginning to receive federal funds required to run the programs.
All experts in pediatric HIV were let go in the gutting of USAID, leaving a single unit at the CDC with the expertise to advise overseas programs. That team was lost in last week’s reorganization, along with another that handles disbursement of funds for three hundred grants in more than forty countries.

So, this is, Trump’s means of, the theory of evolution, the FITTEST survive, those living in the medically, technologically advanced nations, don’t get KILLED off by these, diseases, while the rest of the earth’s lesser populations can D-I-E, and, this is INHUMANE, that these countries are reliant on the aids of medicine, of the researches, and now, all of these employees are being, laid off by the U.S. government, and this is the American government’s committing GENOCIDE, on the nations’ worth of people, because that is how Trump works, what benefitted me, what’s in it for me, and because offering these free lifesaving medicines to these third-world countries can’t get me enough of a PAYOUT, I ordered the aid to these lesser countries, to get, halted, and these research agencies needed the cash flow from the U.S. government, so, if I pull the plugs on these lifesaving programs, nobody can do a thing about it, because I own the U.S. government now, that, is Donald Trump’s mindset, in slicing and dicing up, these, assistance funds to foreign countries that are, in dire need, the countries with the less advanced developments of medicine, and these children deserve to D-I-E, simply because, they do NOT fit to Trump’s beliefs of, is it beneficial to me to help you out?
Uncle Sam finally showed ITS, true selfish colors under the Trump REGIME!!!

The Plight of the Nursing Staff Member Shortages, the Storms Will Blow into Lai’s Government

And yet, it still won’t be, enough, to BRING this, popularly ELECTED DICTATOR down, because he still, sits, safe and SOUND high up, while the rest of us, “little people” crawled on the floors, scrounging for food scraps, that, is how this, popularly elected AUTHORITARIAN takes this country to, HELL, and these hard working men and women, ARE the foundations of the MEDICAL systems here, but they still don’t get the respect they rightfully, DESERVED, take a look back at the times of the pandemic, how many of these individuals had been threatened by the members of the public? And they’re all still, putting their LIVES out on the LINES, to keep the healthcare systems going…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Starting last year, there’d been a shortage of nurses working on duty, the major hospitals throughout the country started experiencing the “bed shortages”, it’d been almost a whole year to date, the Department of Health & Social Welfare still had yet to come up with an effective plan to tackle this, problem, and just allowed things to, worsen. And this fire had, burned through the emergency rooms, and the I.C.U. too now, plus Lin, the deputy head of Department of Health & Social Welfare’s “small brained” claims, finally, a political storm got, started.

the person in charge of the operations of hospitals, Chiu making his, “runway appearances”, video from YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOL5n5oWOro
The fires can spread too quickly, there’s that unsettlement in this society we are living in, people are left on their own, means, and we can only pray that we don’t, get sick, while the shortages of nursing staff members still continued, the medical professionals, all upset over the payment plans offered by the National Health Insurance Agency, while the head of Department of Health & Social Welfare, Chiu’s proposal of “Three Short Two Long” to resolve the “traffic congestions” in the E.R. was criticized as the overly used trick in the book by the medical professionals, that it should’ve been implemented, and he’d waited until now to do it.
To show his care and concern for the situation of “traffic congestion” in the E.R., Chiu made his appearance to the Asia-East Hospital, the N.T.U., the Shuang-He Hospital, the Hoping Branch of the United Hospital Chains’ emergency room departments, but he didn’t spend enough time to hear out all the grievances of the hospital staff members at all, there were the entry level employees of the hospitals who’d disclosed, that the head of department’s greeting and asking how the patients were, was all for, show, “Hi, I’m the head of Health and Social Welfare, Chiu, I hope you get well soon!”, he seemed to be, disinterested in getting to understand what exactly the emergency room workers’ feelings and demands at all.
Toward the heavy burdens of the front lines of the hospitals, the shouts and screams of the patients and the families of the patients stuck in the emergency rooms, how long will these first-line of defense of the medical spectrum stand, Chiu should empathize, instead of the greet and meet only, he should come up with a plan that will work, to change the problems in the current medical systems. If there will be a wave of exits by the medical systems employees one by one, then, the overpopulated E.R. will become, the norm, and this political wildfire will then spread from the Department of Health & Social Welfare, STRAIGHT to the President’s office, those in power should take, heed.

This is, one more screw loosened, and soon, the whole machine of the DDP will completely, CRASH down and, it will still BE the DDP that’s, ruined us all, and we still got NOBODY to blame, but our own selves, for electing these, government officials without the qualifications, to RUN the office, and the president IS, the sole source of this, major problem, and the hospitals E.R. “malfunctioning”, is only a symptom, of the LARGER issues of the problem of how the systems wasn’t, set up to operate, correctly, and it’s still ALL the DDP’s fault, that all of our lives are now, TOTALED here!

I Was in a Car Crash, Got Sent to the Hospital, But No Nurses Came to Assist Me

The personal observation of how the nurses are, working too hard, and how the shortages of nursing staff members, is NOT going to get resolved by the proposed increase in percentage of the nurses’, annual incomes here…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Due to a car crash I was involved in awhile ago, it’d made me personally experience the dilemmas of the entry level medical staff members, I hope that the government can, tackle this matter with more seriousness, to AVOID the country’s medical care provision systems heading toward, collapse.
On the personnel shortages of the nursing staff members in the E.R., I’d personally, experienced, this. My wife and I had been involved in a car wreck, and we were, lifted straight, to the medical centers to get treated, but, the whole process of treatment and examination, I was accompanying my wife in getting her treated, it wasn’t until my wife is done with her treatment, did I head over to the nursing station, to get my bleeding nonstop injuries, taken care of, and in the time in the E.R., other than being told that we needed to get, examined, there was, NO members of the, nursing staff staying close, assisting, us.
What was more, unacceptable was, because of how large my wife’s wound was, it keeps on, bleeding, and the E.R. only continued giving us the cotton swabs, cotton gauzes, it wasn’t until I’d requested to, did they suture my wife up, and this was not happening in the sanitized, operation, room but on the aisles in the, emergency room too.

this is from, TWO years ago, in the U.S., video from YouTube


Waited until they’re ready to, admit us into the wards, we’d stayed, for close to three days in the observations, and, it’s understandable, that my wife’s symptoms appearing, but she wasn’t, admitted into the hospitals, but, the entire environment may have caused her symptoms to, worsen, and this is something that can be, improved too, especially, for those waiting in observation, many had to wait for days on end, and if there’s a shortage of hospital beds, then, that is, what that, was, but if this is caused by a shortage of nursing staff members, then, isn’t the problems, serious enough for the government to, take notice?
The nurses are the focal point of the hospitals’ operations, but they’d been, long-term treated with, disrespect, with the unfriendly work environments, which lead to the high rates of quitting, this IS, a major loss of resources for our, country. The government had spent top dollars to train these, nurses, and in the end, only have them all, drop out of their, jobs, shouldn’t the government EVALUATE itself?
The higher up offices of the government only uses the money to reimburse the nurses for their hard work, hoping to keep the staff members on the rosters, but by only doing this, it won’t keep all those nurses who wish to serve the patients better on staff. As the higher up of the government discussed the matter of medical reforms, DO head over to the front lines, to see how things, work!

here are the, stats…feel free to read on! And yes, the link works.

https://peopleelement.com/blog/nursing-shortage-2024-statistics/


And so, this is…call it, the IVORY TOWER EFFECT if you will, because the government officials, are higher up, and they don’t see what the ordinary citizens are, living through, and they think, that they can, bark out those, orders of, higher wages, increased benefits, and even, call on the reforms of working environments, to “better” the occupational means of the nurses, but NONE of these higher ups in the government has a single, INKLING of a CLUE, of HOW difficult the nurses’ jobs are, because they’re all, way up high, and don’t have a CLUE of what we ordinary people go through in our lives, every single day, and so, we can expect that all their, proposed reforms of increase pays, shorter work hours, benefits, yada, yada, yada, to go, B-U-S-T, because the nurses are needing the RESPECT of the people AND the government, NOT just a percentage of increase in their, monthly or annual, incomes, but does the government get that??? HECK NO!

The Public Has a Right to Refuse Medical Treatment from Uncertified Medical Professional with Degrees from Poland

The term, “Polish doctors” referred to those who received their medical degree in Poland, but didn’t have adequate medical training as professional physicians, and they’re now, all over the country, working as, certified, M.D.’s, because the government lets these, medical interns, slide! Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
There’d been the recent debates of the Polish medical intern students treating the patients of late. The head of Department of Welfare & Sanitations, Chiu pointed out yesterday, before a consensus had been reached, the recruiting of the dentists with degrees from foreign countries to treat the patients in the distant regions is permanently halted; awhile ago, the N.T.U. also led the way in announcing, that if there were the Polish-trained medical intern students who are filing for residency or internship at the university hospital, they will not be considered.
I am completely in agreement with N.T.U.’s way of handling this matter, because as patients, the people have the right to refuse treatments from the uncertified medical doctors. But, comparing to the N.T.U.’s firm standpoint on the matter, the Physicians’ Guild and the Department of Sanitation and Social Welfare, on how opening the uncertified doctors’ records for public review being an invasion of privacy, that this was a “witch hunt”, that it may affect the treatments offered by the medical professionals and impact the surgeries and etc., etc., etc., the Department of Health & Social Welfare surely is, disappointing.
I worked as an evaluator of the preschools in Taipei in the basic principles, one of the guidelines, was on the publicized records of education for the early childhood educators and the caretakers. If there’s the open-for-review of the preschool instructors, then, why are the Polish-trained physicians not be opened up for public review?
There were the cases of the uncertified Polish medical students’ medical neglect causing the patients to lose their lives, nobody wants to be the next victim. This is on the right of the public to know, the medica units should, open the records up for public review, the degrees that each medical professional had earned, to let the public know, if they’re being treated by an uncertified physician, and to shoulder the responsibilities solely if they continue to get treated by these unlicensed professionals.
To protect the welfare of the people in getting the medical treatment needs fulfilled, I hope the Consumer Protection Agency stands up to the challenges, to not only post the list of uncertified medical professionals online, but also, reinforce to the public, to get treated in the hospitals or clinics, with the open-for-review of the medical professionals’ education records. I believe, to gain the trust of the public, more and more hospitals will follow N.T.U. Hospital’s, lead on this, and many of the clinics will also, publicize the physicians’ education records for review, to get the uncertified doctors off the markets, to prevent the members of the public to fall victim to getting treated by an uncertified, medical professional, and lose their lives.

And so, this is a mess that came from the top down, if the top institutes (in this case, the entire healthcare review board), doesn’t have a strict set of rules, that examines the accreditations of the certified medical professionals thoroughly enough, then, there would be these, interns, unlicensed physicians, who pose as professionally certified medical professionals, damaging the lives of the people.

The Conscious-Altering of Medical Diagnosis

Had this nephrologist read the records of the E.R. registrations, then he wouldn’t have, run around in a huge circle, to derive at the conclusions that his patient was, diabetic…translated…

“Fifteen days ago, I’d passed out, lost consciousness, gotten sent to the E.R., they’d monitored me for twenty-four hours, and there was, nothing wrong, they’d registered me to cardiology, the cardiologist set up the appointment of implanting the catheters, the coronary stenting………”

The man in his sixties, started ranting to me, giving me no time to write every detail, down.  But, as I’d heard catheter, that alarm started sounding off inside of me, because I’d not known how the previous two cardiologists who treated him had, derived at his diagnosis of angina.

During the treatment, I’d hated reading up the records of another cardiologist first, worried that reading the records will cause me to be prejudiced.  I’d liked to step by step, go by my own knowledge, to arrive at the diagnoses of my, patients, but now, as I’d heard his previous cardiologists’ diagnoses, I can only pretended that I didn’t hear, and carefully, start from ground zero.

There are many instances where the consciousness had, changed the evaluative means of the diagnoses, that’s gotten into the acronym of AEIOUTIPS, the patients had been in the E.R., stroke, brain lesions, alcohol poisonings, acid toxicities, imbalance of electrolytes………I’d ruled these, more severe out, I’d only needed to, focus on the remaining possible diagnoses.

“Had you lost awareness of everybody else around you?”:

“Yes.”

“For how long?”, I’d allowed the man to discuss it with his wife a bit, they thought it was anywhere from thirty, forty seconds, no more than a minute’s time.

“What were you doing?”:

“Having lunch.  A few days ago, I’d experienced this a couple of times, but they didn’t last that long.”

Although this is, vital information, I’d worried that I’d, led them astray from the topics, and decided, to not extend any further.  “Wait, let’s get this time straight, then, we can see a pattern for the previous times.”

I’d adjusted, returned back to our original pace, “were you standing up?  Sitting down?  Or lying down when it happened this latest time?”, if he’d fainted standing up, then, the most frequent cases are of the vasovagal syncope.

“As I sat to have my lunch, I’d started sweating out the cold sweats, felt sick to my stomach, wanted to rest, so I’d put my head down onto the tables, and, my hand fell down.”  The family members added “he seemed to be reaching for the chair close by to steady himself, then, he’d, slipped to the floors, and it took him a short while to regain his consciousness.”

If the fainting happened during physical activities, then, it would be embolism of the lungs, the heart valves, or arrythmia.  But he’d fainted during a meal, which was a bit, odd, could it be the vasovagal reflex, causing the heart to pulse too slow?  But, the ECG from twenty-four hours didn’t come up abnormal.

“Were there twitching?”  “No.”  No signs of epilepsy.

“Chest pains?”  “Nope.”  There’s no sign of the angina on his ECG either.

“Did you consume alcohol that day?”  “nope.”

Nothing, I’d pulled it back again, “what are the few past occurrences?”

“Two nights ago at past nine, I was sitting on the couch, watching T.V., I’d felt nauseated, started sweating cold sweat, I’d made myself puked, and it’d felt better.  The following afternoon, I’d felt discomfort around my left shoulders, started sweating cold sweats.  The third day, led me here into the E.R.”

So frequent, and every time, there’s the cold sweats, this doesn’t sound right.

“Are you diabetic?”

and unfortunately, there’s no shared database of medical records across the departments of the hospitals, or the hospitals…like this…image from online

“My glucose was a bit high from before, the doctor said I didn’t need to get medicated yet, but my golf buddy told me he had the great medications for diabetes, and shared some with me.”

“How long did you take them?”  “Three weeks.”

“Are you still on them now?”  “No, I don’t dare to take them anymore!”

“Did similar situation occur after you’d stopped taking the diabetes medications?”  “no, it’d been two weeks, I’d felt, fine.”

I’d let out a sigh of relief, it seemed, that it was a medication induced low blood sugar, the less severe conditions, the patients get sent to the E.R. for the more severe, the patients will become, vegetable, and even, die.

Looking at my patient, I’d felt that he was blessed, and, maybe, in the future, he may need the catheters for another reason, but not today.  I’d started, scolding him, that the medications are personalized, how could he take someone else’s meds, especially for diabetes.

And yet, as the inquiries are over, I’d, clicked open his file of medical treatment records, and found that the doctors who’d treated him wrote in Chinese, “These past few weeks, due to high glucose, the clinic treatment sessions didn’t give him a prescription, so he’d put himself on the blood sugar meds of his friend’s, he’d been on the meds for three weeks, he didn’t have any today………”, and I’d covered my face, sighed, ahhhhhhhhhhhh, had I, only read, the E.R. notes first, then I wouldn’t have, needed to, go the long way around with him.

So, this is how the medical field works, the referrals, they go around, around, and around, and for some unknown reasons, there’s no communications between the departments horizontally, which is what’s caused this situation, because there’s not the opening of the medical records for the patients in the hospitals loaded up to the databases.

The Waiting that Never, Ends

How a mother stays, worrying about her daughter’s spine, but she’s too young to go under the knife, she must wait until her daughter gets, older, and, each day of waiting, last longer like years…translated…

“There’s no need for you to book your appointment again”, soon as the physician told me, tears came, flowing, out.

before the child is old enough to go “under the knife”, this is the only thing that can be, done for the child’s condition…photo from online

To get to the doctors in the southern districts, I’d, waken my daughter who’s sound asleep.  That was during the time when there was no internet, I’d read up on the magazines, that the orthopedic surgeon was excellent, he’d made a patient with a hunchback who’d slouched over for decades, to stand back up, straight again.

“My daughter is still, so very, young………” I’d watched the surgeon through my tears, but he’d pointed at the door, signaled me out.  He’d plainly stated, “because of how young she is, that’s why we need to take the precautionary, measures.”  “there are a lot of people waiting outside”, seeing I wouldn’t leave, he’d told his secretary to lead me outside.

The secretary told me, that just like the orthopedic surgeon and I, she also have two daughters, ages four and five, so she can, empathize with me, and, consoled with me, to wait until my daughter grows older, then, to come back, to sign up for the surgical procedures.

Time passes, my daughter leaned to the side even more.  So tiny she was, she’d, wiped away, the large tear drops from my face, asked why I was, crying?  I’d lowered my head to the magazine, with the folded pages, the handwriting, already, smeared.

Sometimes, I couldn’t help, but pick up the phone, and dialed that secretary’s number, pretended that I was her friend, asked her about how her daughter was doing, then, ranted incessantly about my own, worries.  I’d, bought two sets of presents: the puzzles, the children’s books for the Children’s Day, and mailed them all to the secretary, and asked her to hand them to the surgeon, to show my worries.

Before my daughter went under the knife, for many, many years on end, I’d, continually, bugged that secretary, and, hypnotized myself, that I’m, this much, closer to, the orthopedic, surgeon.

And, this would be the mother, worrying about her daughter’s conditions, but the child is too young, to go under the knife, and, the time in waiting, it’d, stressed the mother out, but there’s, nothing she can do, she can only, wait, for her daughter, to age slowly, until she’s, old enough, to have the surgery, performed on her.

The Kaohsiung Mingshen Hospital Performed Surgery on the Wrong Person, the Elderly Who Had a Stroke Had a Chest Drain

This is, I suppose, one of the, WORST cases of, MEDICAL NEGLECT???  I mean, hello, hello, hello, the fixing the elderly needed is in his BRAIN, and yet, they CUT open his chest?  That’s, uh, how many INCHES or CENTIMETERS, away again???  That just showed, how UNPROFESSIONAL these, “professionals” can be, or maybe, they didn’t, get enough, sleep last night, that’s why they’d made this, “ERROR”, and now, this entire hospital with the ENTIRE surgical staff, DESERVE to get, SUED!  This is, OUTRAGEOUS!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

and here’s the S.O.P. that the hospital should’ve followed, but didn’t! From UDN.com

The Elderly’s Files Passed Through Five Sets of Hands, But the Identity of the Patient Was, Never, Confirmed, the Head Surgeon, to Cover Up, Forged the Medical Records, Got Fired from His Surgical Position, the Director of the Hospital, Ousted

The city-funded hospital in Kaohsiung, the Mingshen Hospital on the fourth had a severe medical negligence case of “operating the wrong person”, they were supposed to do a surgical drain for a patient with the pustules in his thorax, but, accidentally, wheeled in the patient with the lowered blood pressure in for the surgery, and, in this time, the patient was passed through five different medical professionals, and none had, become, aware that they’d, taken the wrong individual into the O.R., it wasn’t until the surgeon who cut open the patient’s chest, did he find, nothing inside the patient’s thorax, did the primary surgeon, Lu, realize, that this patient didn’t have the conditions, that they’d, mistakenly, operated on the, man.  The hospital and the local department of sanitations found out, afterwards, the surgeon, Lu had the patient signed a consent form for the surgery, to falsify the medical records, he was given two written reprimands, and, fired from his position as a surgeon, the case will be turned over to the Kaohsiung D.A.’s Office to prosecute.  The mayor, Chen said this is a “low level mistake that should’ve never, happened”.

here’s the news report…off of YouTube

Based off of understanding, that man in his seventies, Huang who’d been, mistakenly operated on, was a registered low-income, he’d had a stroke, and couldn’t speak, and had been living in assisted living for a long time, only has a younger brother, but they couldn’t find him, the hospital had hired a nurse’s aide for him to look after him, currently, he’s, recovering from the unnecessary operation.

And so, this, is, one more SCREW loose, in the, medical systems, I mean, you are told to check, at least, THREE times, that your patients’ treatments are what they needed (or maybe I’m wrong???), and yet, this sort of an elementary level mistake had, happened, in a major hospital, and, there’s the five standard-operating procedures of the surgery, along with the hospitals’ negligence listed on the papers…does this make you feel safe, being in the hospitals of this country, where, medical care is, almost, nothing?  Yeah, quality of care still goes up and down with the costs here!

What Would You Care More, the Quality of Medical Care Provisions, or the Cost of Care?

How the cheap, affordable all-inclusion healthcare program is NEGATIVE correlated with the quality of treatment by a medical professional, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The Department of Sanitation Welfares Announced that they’re, lifting the restrictions of the costs of registrations at the hospitals, returning this to the market economy.  I believe, that this is, the right policy for the overly cheap cost of healthcare.

I’d gone to study in Germany from before, and, in Germany, there’s the all-inclusive healthcare, and the department head doctors who are professors, they get to, increase the charges in the treatment of their, patients, other than the healthcare fees that were mandatory to all citizens to pay, the patients would purchase the private medical plans, just so they can receive the care of the experienced and notable, physicians, to give oneself or the loved ones the better quality of care when needed.

Other than in Germany, I’d gone to accompany my relatives, my friends to get treated at the hospital in the U.S. and Canada as well.  And, these two neighboring countries have diverse systems of healthcare, but, most of the clinic treatment sessions, the patients were allowed as much time to see the doctors, the busy medical professionals, had the office assistants to help them with the paperwork for the transfers and the referrals, to answer the fundamental questions that the patients may have; and the treatments were by appointments, so long as you show up at your designated time, you wouldn’t wait too long to get into the doctor’s office, and you are given more than enough time to discuss with your physicians.

Of course, this high quality clinic sessions is quite costly, and so, in the U.S., both you and your employer needed to pay the high enough medical care insurance, to get this sort of a higher quality services provided to you.  The costs may not be as high in Canada, but, you still need to be patient in waiting, sometimes, weeks, up to, months at a time, to get to the specialists, and get the thorough, and professional care you needed.  The citizens in both the U.S. and Canada has no objection of this, because they know, that this high a quality of care, needed enough funding to support the systems.

Looking now at Taiwan, we’re all used to having the cheap, convenient medical services provided to us, without knowing, that in the medical centers’ rules, if your conditions weren’t that serious, most of times, you can’t even get a word in with your primary treating physician, then, you would be out of the doctor’s office with a ton of slips for the further examinations of blood or whatever, and the pages of prescriptions you are to pick up, then, get assigned to a ton of physical checks that you don’t know the purpose of, and ingesting a ton of medications that you don’t know the functions, of.

And so returning the hospitals back to the markets, good services can only be gotten with the higher costs, you want the cheaper costs that you can afford, sure, there are also, the cheaper clinics that you can get treated in, isn’t this free economy of the hospitals, also, good too?

This is on how the provisions of free medical healthcare plan is, going, BANKRUPT, and, the basics is still you GET what you paid for!  You can’t expect the quality of care, if you only pays very little, this is a positive correlation, the higher the cost, that’s an indicator of higher quality of care that you are to receive, and, we don’t want to pay as much, but we all want the higher quality of medical care provided to us, and that, is where the problem begins, because it doesn’t work that way!

The Costs of Everything Getting Higher Still: the Hospitals Save the Good, and the Bad, but, Not Those Who Don’t Have the Means to Pay for the Treatments They are in Dire Need of

The poor are not, created equal with the rest of us, who can, afford the healthcare plans, even IF those of who make over certain amount of income got six-percent’s taxable incomes to help those in the bottom, the problem with the all-inclusion healthcare plan, with not every citizen being, included in the plans here, as the healthcare became, unaffordable, to the poor, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

After the elections, the costs of everything hiked up, and, the news of increasing the electricity usage fees, may cause another wave of hikes in everything; the Department of Welfare Sanitation’s “the considerations of hospitals charging the registration fees guidelines”, now, the individual hospitals can adjust the costs of registrations to get treated, cause the public to feel infuriated.  To the people, under the situations of the costs of everything getting higher up by the days, this is, making things worse.

There was a clinic close by to my home, for many years, the registration charges stayed at $150 steadily, started in January, it’d, hiked up to $200N.T.s, as the limits of registration charges got eliminated, it’s supposed to, get higher up more, and the neighbors are started to, talk about this matter, how it will make it harder to get the needed healthcare that they may require; my colleague went to a medical center for treatment and to pick up the meds for his progressive condition, he’d only gotten into the face-to-face treatment sessions, didn’t get any extra work done on him, the costs is over $900N.T., if the registration charges get increased, then, his once-every-three-months meds pick up will only, get higher still.  And now, getting treated by a physician became a thing of the rich, and we all need to, keep our own systems healthy, and, the poor now had no rights to get ill.

The Department of Health Welfare & Sanitations said, that deleting the limits of registration fees to get treated is comply to the market economy, if a certain hospital is more expensive, then the patients will have the choices of going elsewhere for treatment.  Problem being, that we’re already, used to seen a certain physician, and believed that only s/he knew our conditions well enough, and most of us would select to get treated at a hospital that’s, closest to where we, live.  And if we now have to, go farther away from home, to get a cheaper price of treatment, it would have a huge impact on the time spent in getting the treatments we are in need of, becoming more troublesome.

From before, the egg shortages, the costs got as high as a hundred dollars per six hundred grams, and the cost of items hiked up in the shops too, and now, the costs of eggs had, dropped a little, but the costs of the shops, stayed, just as high, in the stewed food stands, an stewed egg costs $15, and a boxed meal is now, $100 N.T.s, or even, higher.  I’d ordered up a keg of medium gasoline delivered, it’d gotten from $665 per keg to $680 then.

What post-election gave to us, is not a new leaf of spring, but the chillier winters of higher costs of things, are the hard days coming?  I walked down the road the other day, a young mom was with her two young children of six or seven, headed into the breakfast shops.  She’d asked them which one they want to eat at?  The young boy excited pointed at the shop that’s prettier inside, the mom told him, “this shop is more expensive, you can’t order that many items.”, the young boy nodded in compliance.  This made me feel deeply, the costs of everything is elevated, we are all tried by inflation, and we all need to nickel and dime.  Only the government is, without a single clue of how hard we’re having it, and now, it’s stripping us of our rights to get treated by the hospital when we fall, ill too.

Deleting the limits of the hospitals’ charges for registration, the goal is to using the price to control the wasting of the limited medical resources, but, those living below the poverty lines will keep on living with the tiny ailments, and not dared to see a doctor, waiting until they worsen, wouldn’t that be even a deeper impact on the resources of medical insurances?  The Department of Sanitation & Welfares allowed the individual hospitals to set up their own percentages of increases for the registration, believing, that the medical facilities have the conscience to charge way up out of what’s reasonable, but, without the restrictions of the law, human nature usually, can’t withstand the tests.

This is exactly the same mindset of how the laborers fought for the days off being granted to them when the president, Tsai claimed, “you don’t need to tell me this, go tell your boss what you’re telling me”, if the hikes in the registration charges of getting ourselves treated became too high, and we need to go talk to the hospitals, then, what would need our government for?

There’s the saying online, “the hospitals will save a bad guy, but they won’t save a poor guy”.  This is the cruel reality of things, or maybe not, but, those who can’t afford the registration charges at the hospitals, can only sigh about how they can’t make enough money, to get the treatment they needed.  A policy, a hospital, a tall wall, separated the ill and the healthy, the poor and the rich, the lower socioeconomic statuses of people and the higher ones, making the gaps between the rich and the poor grows wider yet, turned Taiwan into two worlds, one for the rich, one for the poor, and, those living in poverty can only, pray!

And so, this, is how if you live in poverty, then, you do NOT “deserve” the medical healthcare provisions you are in dire need of to save your life, because you can’t afford to get treated, because the costs of healthcare is still, hiking up higher by the nanosecond these days, and, the government allowed the individual hospitals and treatment facilities to set up their own costs of registrations, and the teaching hospitals’ fees are even, higher still, and so, all of us here, who live in the country where there’s the “all-inclusions healthcare plan for ALL citizens”, not all of us get the healthcare provisions we may need, only IF we are able to afford these rising costs of medical care, will we get, treated, and, forget about the Hippocratic Oath’s “First, Do NO HARM”, that the physicians swore to, that’s not applicable here, not anymore!
